"He's doing really good," Pouncey said Wednesday after practice. "Me and him watched the game together at my house, so he's doing really good. He's in good spirits. He wants to get back on this football team and he wants to get back to play football. Richie Incognito is a football player and that's the only thing he knows. He's missing it, definitely, but he'll be all right."

Incognito is suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team for his role in the alleged harassment of teammate Jonathan Martin, who left the team three weeks ago. The NFL is investigating the workplace atmosphere inside of the Dolphins' locker room and will make its report public.

"He looked over and said, 'Man, I can't believe that we're sitting here watching the offense play,' and I was like, 'It's unbelievable, bro,' " Pouncey said. "I had never pictured this, ever in my life. We got a laugh out of it and got to watch a great game."

NFL-appointed attorney Ted Wells is in South Florida this week conducting interviews of players and coaches as part of the league's review.

According to offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie, there were four people in the room while he was being interviewed, but only two asked questions. He said his interview lasted 30 minutes.

"Mine wasn't as long as some," McKinnie said. "I met with them and answered whatever they asked of me. They just asked me my perspective about being older and in different locker rooms and how things operated."

Players made available in the locker room after Thursday's practice said the NFL has not given them an indication of when the interviews will be finalized.

"They got all the questions they wanted to get out of us and we gave them all the answers," Pouncey said. "They were just in there trying to figure out what's going on, and doing the right thing."

According to several Dolphins players, NFL investigators also asked whether they saw Incognito's alleged physical attack on Martin, any other incidents of harassment and bullying and the use of racial epithets in a threatening way.

"The comments that (Incognito) made on the guy's answering machine, Richie has apologized for that," McKinnie said. "I don't really understand what people want from that situation.

"There's only so much you can do. It wasn't meant for everybody to hear. It was a way they communicated, I think, between those two, so, he apologized. You can't hold a grudge and at the end of the day, if he comes back in here and he's able to help us win more games, I've never had a problem with him."

The feeling in the locker room is that the investigation is gradually concluding. Players and coaches have been asked about it for three weeks. Some won't speak about it at all.

"I feel like we're all at ease now, and now we can focus straight on football," Pouncey said. "That's the most important thing that we can focus on: football and winning some games."

Wells and the NFL still have to finalize the league's report. Depending on the findings, jobs may be at stake.

The NFLPA also intends to conduct its own review of the Dolphins' organization, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

Dolphins coach Joe Philbin declined to comment on any questions about a union review, but added that "the Dolphins organization is committed to cooperating fully."
